If you have questions, comments, concerns, or anything else you think we should know, please contact Rick or Aubree using contact info below. We are committed to providing full transparency about the Stonefield Solar Project. Candela Renewables, LLC is developing the Stonefield Solar Project, a solar photovoltaic (PV) generating station in Hardin County with a capacity of up to 120 megawatts (MW). Notice of upcoming public meetings related to the Stonefield Solar Project will be provided in accordance with all relevant local and state regulations and will also be posted on this website. UpcomingĪs new information becomes available, this website will be updated to provide details on the current status of the project. Student-led organizations, campus resource groups, external parties, and community members were in attendance.
On April 21, 2022, the project team participated in the Elizabethtown Community and Technical College Multi-Cultural Fair as part of an Earth Day section of the Fair focusing on sustainability. At this event, seven Candela representatives were available to answer in-depth questions from community members. 11, 2021, representatives with Candela Renewables held a public information meeting at the Central Kentucky Community Foundation in Elizabethtown. Questions or comments may be directed to the Stonefield project team by email or 681-5720 Public Outreach Activities NextLight brought together a team of highly experienced professionals from the power industry to focus on what was then an emerging industry: solar power.
Availability of local renewable energy is critical to attracting world-class partners to Hardin County and the surrounding regions. Candela Renewables was formed by Brian Kunz and Nik Novograd, who worked together at NextLight Renewable Power, a company that Brian co-founded in 2008. It also provides valuable workforce training, supplies significant new funds to local taxing districts throughout the lifespan of the project, and drives substantial indirect economic benefits as construction activities lead to new business for local hotels, restaurants, equipment retailers, gas stations, and other businesses.Īdditionally, Stonefield Solar will directly support Hardin County’s economic development efforts by providing clean, affordable renewable energy to the local electricity transmission grid. We expect most of this work will be contracted through local companies. During the project’s operation, there will be 10-30 temporary jobs created to support vegetation management, snow removal, and other seasonal maintenance as needed. Know, however, that you are in for a rigorous crash course in the elaborate mechanisms (physical, historical, and political) that drive the largest machine on earth: our electrical grid.This solar photovoltaic project will create an average of 150-350 local jobs during construction. between Laura Daniel-Davis and any officials, lobbyists, representatives or other staffers affiliated with Candela Renewables, the renewable energy and. Our mission is to develop the most reliable, cost effective, environmentally beneficial and financeable. I would encourage those from non-standard academic backgrounds to apply to this program, the industry needs people who can take uncommon perspectives on the business of making electricity. Candela Renewables, LLC is a developer of utility-scale solar and storage power projects. I think that this manifold scope of competency serves to highlight Energy System's Management’s multidisciplinary design: the philosophy of the program is that leaders in the energy sector need to have a baseline working knowledge of policy, economics, and engineering in order to nourish teams and companies that will sensibly impact the inevitable minimization of emissions resulting from energy use and production. I work simultaneously at a component level (designing customer systems for installation) and coordinating with the California Energy Storage Alliance (CESA) on that organization’s efforts in the legislature and the Public Utilities Commission. My role focuses on optimizing installation methods, cost modeling, and (of all things) policy related to energy storage in California. Midway through the program, and in no small part because of the program’s scope, I find myself working at an ambitious energy storage startup in the East Bay.
